Is your Win 7 install 64 bit?  Was this advised MS hot fix a Windows message or generated by the MSI installer or do you know?  Did this advised message refer to KB3033929? 

The KB3033929 is a security update required for Win 7 X64 installation.  Below is a link covering the installation of this update:

Here is a link to the Microsoft Download page for this update:

If you are having trouble with this particular update my guess would be that other Windows updates might need to be installed on your machine prior to this one becoming available for installation.  You should run Windows update to find out.

Another issue could be that this update is for Win 7 X64 SP1.  If your installation is missing Service Pack (SP) 1 then this update will not install.  On the Microsoft Download page linked above on the right hand side of the page is a link for Service Packs.  Additionally, make certain that you have the correct language downloads selected as having the wrong language version will cause installation problems.
